We came here straight from the airport for brunch. Really liked the experience of sitting down at a booth and trying out a different cuisine. The food: Beef Borek - flaky pastry with ground beef. Mildly flavored but good texture Qalihek - Beef Omelette. Even though I liked this better than the eggs that came with the Tashtea set, probably should have ordered something non-egg in hindsight. Tashtea for 1 - this is like a primarily vegetarian charcuterie platter. Tomatoes, cucumbers and olives. Yogurt that you can sweeten with honey and butter, or two types of jams. I think ours was some kind of floral one (rose?) and fruit (berry?). Seasonal fruit was a slice of watermelon. It also came with some eggs and sausage. Nice presentation, but I think one needs to be in a particular mood for this type of food. Memorable and unique experience. Would like to try more of the items in the Bakery section of their menu.
I love the diversity of Nashville's food scene. TashTea was a must visit during my recent trip. This Kurdish/turkish spot is tastefully decorated with some really unique options for how you sit when you dine! There is plenty of parking. I got a Turkish breakfast, along with some traditional tea. The breakfast was plentiful with multiple wonderful options, including cheese, eggs, fresh vegetables, sweets, and bread. The tea is prepared in a unique way with a combination of brew tea and hot water. I love that everything was in a very traditional platter. A delicious meal. I wish I had room to try some desserts but I will save that for next time. The servers were very courteous and polite.
My husband and I stopped in for the "TashTea for 2," and it was such a beautiful breakfast experience. Firstly, the parking was super easy, with plenty of spots. Inside, the decor beautifully reflects Turkish and Kurdish culture, and they offer two seating options; we opted for a standard table. The service was prompt, and they laid out the entire spread so thoughtfully in front of us. We also ordered a teapot of their signature tea, which was an absolute star! It looked bright ruby red and was incredibly refreshing, with just the right hint of cardamom. As a total coffee loyalist, I was genuinely surprised to find myself converted to a tea drinker for the day! As for the food, everything was incredible. The menemen was a standout. The combination of eggs, soft tomatoes, peppers, and melted cheese made it rich and comforting. While every component hit the mark, my favorites were the babaganoush and the grape molasses. Oh! And the helva was so good and unique; I could eat a box of those! My only critique is that we constantly had to shoo away a few flies while we ate, so I really hope they get a handle on that soon! Otherwise, this was such a memorable meal; we'll definitely be back!
My wife told me about this place she had seen on social media and wanted to try it. It was a fantastic dining experience and the food was fresh and delicious. It is a family owned and operated restaurant serving an authentic and traditional Mediterranean style family spread meant for sharing. They also serve sand brewed coffees, specialized hot and cold teas, Mocktails and bake all of their breads and desserts in house fresh every day. The staff are very friendly and one of the owners was giving us our check after we were done eating and actually started a conversation with us and told us that one of the things they are known for is Hospitality. Everyone was so nice and it just complimented the delicious food. My wife and myself got the Family size Tashtea Breakfast for 2. It was definitely enough food for 2. This huge spread consists of different Cheeses, Olives, Honey, Butter, Molasses, Tomatoes, Sausage, Egg, Seasonal Fruit and Freshly Baked Bread. To finish the review-- This place is only open for Breakfast and Lunch. They close around 4:30. There is plenty of free parking and it's located in Antioch about 15 minutes from Nashville. It's worth a try if you haven't been or if you have been there then you know.
Went with a group of about 5 people and absolutely loved the experience! Servers were kind and prompt with service. There are regular seated tables as well as cute floor seating with cushions! Plenty of parking in the lot in front. This cute Turkish spot has an amazing spread of food (vegetarian friendly) for group sharing. The spreads come with different sizing depending on how many are in your group + options of mains. I absolutely DEVOURED every item on the plates. We also got the tea pot, which is a concentrate you can water down to your liking. The milky bakalawa was also perfectly sweet and such a unique item to try. Would DEFINITELY recommend!
I came here for breakfast while visiting from California, and honestly, in almost 30 years of living in the United States, this was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. This is a Kurdish-Turkish restaurant, and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The prices were also very reasonable. Our entire table, with all the food we ordered, came to around $85-$90, which was a great price for the quality and amount of food. The service was good and everyone was very friendly. At times, our server got a little distracted talking with other customers, but I understand that they were just trying to be welcoming and friendly. I used to run a restaurant myself, so I know how busy things can get. They may just need to pay a little more attention to all the tables. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was excellent, the service was good, and I will 100% come back again. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed
What a fantastic mother's day treat! We came in the afternoon and had about a 30 minute wait but it was so worth it. Everything was absolutely delicious. We had the Tash Tea for two which was a ton of food. We also ordered some other side dishes, a turkish coffee, and a kurdish coffee. Everything was so tasty that we decided to get another round of coffee and a dessert. What a delightful experience and something totally different. Will be back with friends soon!
the food was INCREDIBLE. absolutely delicious & definitely worth the hype. Both the coffee and tea were phenomenal. Ordered the TashTea for 3 and then a few other things and were absolutely blown away. The menemem and the potato börek were favorites at the table and it was so fun to mix sauces and try different combinations. The floor seating is really comfortable but if you have lower back issues definitely recommend a normal table. The staff was kind but service was quite slow. I enjoyed how knowledgeable the staff was ! Reservations are not necessary. Their online system doesn't work. You can call and make a reservation but on a Saturday morning there were still plenty of tables. Be prepared to be here a while, this was not a quick in & out breakfast. Perfect spot for catching up with friends & taking your time to enjoy some really really good food.
I've been passing this place for months. Scrolling the clock app, I saw a review and it was immediately added to my must try list. I'm an early riser so I went in shortly after open on a Sunday. I'm a sucker for esthetically appealing things... the decor was really cute! Of course I opted for the traditional floor seating. I wanted the full experience . We were immediately seated. The food was delicious. Very flavorful. Since I'm coming back with a group soon, I didn't get the Tash Tea Breakfast spread. I opted to get the Menemen. It was great! It's going to be hard to order anything else the next time I go. VERY Flavorful and served with bread. To drink I had a Matcha Latte and it's hands down one of the best I've had in Nashville. I also ordered a Cuban to go. It was ok. Very strong. As I got to the bottom, it was less strong and really tasty. I. WILL. BE. BACK
A great place to eat when you have out-of-town guests or are in the mood for something different. The owners are available and approachable and willing to share details of their story and of the incredible variety of breakfast food. We sat in the low section to get as authentic an experience as possible. The food was plentiful and we've taken leftovers with us each visit. The service is professional and knowledgeable and definitely unobtrusive. They will talk as much as you want to talk and leave you to yourself when you want. The atmosphere is calming and relaxed. No putting on airs, just have a seat, take your time and enjoy. I think this must be the way meals are taken back home.
The staff were friendly, the food was good but to be honest not filling between 2 people. Will try this place again
This is a small but vibey shop offering standard table seating & some floor cubby seating on pillows for a more traditional aesthetic. The food here is exceptional & I would argue it's one of the best breakfast options in the city. If you're dining with 2-4 get 4-5 dishes & share & there will likely be leftovers . Two of my favorites are the beef borek & the gozleme. Service is friendly & attentive. We are very lucky to have a great Kurdish food scene here.

This was my first time trying Turkish food, and I have to say, I was completely blown away by how delicious everything was--especially the coffee! The coffee was honestly one of the best coffees I've ever had. If you're looking for a nice, chill environment with great food and especially great coffee, you definitely need to check this place out. I was very impressed. The service was wonderful, the restaurant was nice and clean, and I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area. read more
We came here for a birthday party, and we had such a great experience! I would highly recommend coming with a smaller group if you can. Honestly, even six people might be a little too many for one table -- four people would probably be ideal. As you can see in the photos, our table was PACKED! That being said, we were served very well, the food was really good, and everyone left completely full. We got to experience so many different foods that we had never tried before, which made the whole experience even more fun. If you've never been here, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's definitely a VIBE! I really wish we could have sat at one of the tables on the floor because that looked like such a fun experience. Unfortunately, some of the people in our group were older, and with the size of our party, that wasn't really an option. So if you're coming with a larger group, I would recommend sitting at separate tables rather than trying to fit everyone at one table. You'll have a much more comfortable experience that way. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back! read more
Remember when the Ottoman Empire took over Syria and Lebanon for roughly 400 years and spent a good portion of that time being, how do I put this diplomatically... absolute a$$holes? Because I would argue that somewhere along the way they also looked at our coffee, food, recipes, and traditional dishes and said, "Oh, this is nice. We'll be taking this." And honestly, I'm still slightly offended. But that is not this restaurant's fault, so I will leave my 400 year old historical trauma at the door and focus on the food. As for the Kurds, I originally wanted to say they didn't contribute much, but then I spent approximately three hours on the internet researching this and discovered that, y'all have been around for a very long time. So I have decided to stop talking before I accidentally start an international incident in the review community. Syria itself goes back more than 2,500 years into antiquity, with the name Syria generally connected to Assyria through Greek and Roman usage. Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Which means Syrians have had thousands of years to perfect the ancient Middle Eastern tradition of arguing with other Middle Eastern people about who invented the food. And this is where I draw the line. Do not come into my comments and tell me BOREK IS NOT SYRIAN, GOOD SIR. I have Google. I have WiFi. I have absolutely no qualifications whatsoever. But I have confidence. (And again, the internet) And as for baba ghanoush, labneh, kibbeh in approximately 900 different forms, knafeh, falafel, hummus, baklava, etc... yes, I understand that these foods have traveled across Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey, and the surrounding region for centuries. At this point, trying to determine who invented what is basically the Middle Eastern equivalent of two grandmothers fighting over who made the better grape leaves. (Syrian, they are all Syrian i swear. Just softening the blow earlier) Nobody knows anymore. ( i do remember, i have internet) Everyone is yelling. Someone is crying. There is a tray of baklava on the table. Turkey does have haydari, though, and nobody is really going to fight you over that one. You can have it. We have better things to argue about. Now, the actual restaurant. The food is pretty damn good. I'd change a few things, and some of the portions are definitely on the smaller side, but overall I enjoyed it. The vibe is also really cool. It doesn't particularly remind me of many places I've been in Turkey, Lebanon, or Syria. But this is Antioch. So what exactly were we expecting? This place is basically the culinary equivalent of putting five civilizations, three empires, four religions, and one extremely opinionated grandmother in a room and saying, "Okay, everyone make dinner." The staff is kind, although they weren't always super attentive. But they also seemed to be constantly busy, so I get it. Maybe adding another person or two on the floor would help. It was pretty clean overall, the atmosphere was great, and I'd definitely come back for specific dishes. And honestly, I would absolutely bring a white girl from Tennessee who has never left the state here just to watch her take one bite and realize that the world is significantly larger than Nashville. Then I would quietly whisper: "Welcome to Syria, Antioch franchise." read more

Wow, I wasn't expecting much, this was just a breakfast place I found on Yelp on our way into Nashville, but this deserves a five star rating. First, the staff actually seemed genuinely happy and friendly, not just the fake server niceness you see. Second, everything we ate was delicious- my favorite was the rose jam that came with the Tashtea breakfast, but the fried eggs and sausage plate was also really good. The menemem was great as well, it was like pizza without the crust. It was busy but not obnoxiously so on a busier than usual Sunday morning. We got to sit at a low table on cushions, but they have normal tables as well. I highly recommend this place! read more
We absolutely loved TashTea! It is an amazing experience and I would recommend that you come hungry and order the TashTea - it comes with so much food and an assortment so you get a little of everything. And don't be afraid to ask questions! The staff is so kind and will answer questions or give recommendations. Everything was delicious and fresh. Can't wait to go back again. I didn't get a photo but we also tried the baklava which was absolutely delicious. This is a cozy little restaurant that is so cute inside with lovely ambiance. read more

OMG do NOT sleep on this place!! Me and adult daughter shared the TashTea for 2. It's the best charcuterie of food! And seemed to be just the right amount of small bites to fill us without stuffing us. Sweet, savory, fresh bakery items, fresh fruit, dips, yogurt, olives. All of the above. We were blown away by it. And daughter said best mango matcha she's ever had. We'll be back! read more

We had the TashTea breakfast for two. My wife had the Kurdish Coffee and I had the Cafe Latte. Everything was amazing and there was sooooo much great food! We also took home the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake for later. We will be back. Only two small observations: - I kind of wished there had been some tiny spoons or knives. I loved combining the jams with the tahini on the bread but in doing so it was hard not to get the jams mixed into the tahini. My wife didn't mind but I could see in larger groups how that could be awkward. - The bread went so well with everything that I wish the initial amount of bread given was more proportional to the various elements. Didn't mind paying for extra bread but it would have been nice if we hadn't needed to order more. These are really just small nitpicks and, regardless, I would still highly recommend any and everyone eat here! read more
SO happy I found this spot. It's such a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall but is a little oasis once inside. This cafe has amazing aesthetics and has a calm and relaxing ambiance to it. TashTea has brought true Turkish/Kurdish cuisine to Nashville! Excellent, attentive service from the moment I entered and everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was my first time trying Kurdish coffee which is made in the traditional method over hot sand. It is made from terebinth (related to pistachio) and the staff explained the whole process and why it is cooked in this method- to get all the rich flavors out. The end product was absolutely delicious, earthy with a subtle nutty flavor and served with a great presentation and a little sweet to go along with it. I also got the sahanda sujuklu yumurta (fried eggs with sausage) which was simple, tasty, and served with homemade pita bread. I am already planning my next visit and can't wait to try other menu items! I hope this spot gets the recognition it deserves; I am happy to have it in the Antioch dining scene. read more

The food was so fresh and delicious! I can't wait to come here again! My brother has been to Turkey multiple times and was so excited about the food. We opted to sit on the floor at a table and it was so great! The coffee and chai tea were delicious (yes we got both). Such a gem! read more

If you are a part of a group of people who love food, who love ambiance, who love being doted upon and desired to linger in this fashion, then by all means come to TashTea!!! While you may be unfamiliar at first with parodical or food, take courage because your bravery will be rewarded. You are in the good hands and graces of a staff who are overflowing with patience and generosity. They will lead you to a bounty of flavors and textures that are a delight to behold. Take a seat, ( in a booth is best ) relax and enjoy! read more
100% Recommend. If you can adhere to the hours, get ready to have your taste buds blown away. Keep reading. If all the parking spots are taken you can park in the shopping center which has ample parking. Walking a fair distance to your car would be helpful after a very filling meal. Upon entry, the restaurant is clean and modern. I like how they have seating that is low to the ground, but if that's not your thing, they have regular tables too. I got the "sampler" as we would call it. First course came out and I wanted to try their lentil soup. Very great subtle mint flavor. I got an espresso as well and it was big. Like a normal coffee cup size. Second courses came out and there is a big variety. Loved all the flavors and everything. From sweet to savory. Good olives, vegetables, and cheese. Mains came out and the egg was delicious. So was the Sujuk I got tea as well and it was very good. The watermelon was also good. I believe I ate too much. I love supporting local businesses and it was a pleasure to dine here. I even went next door to the newly opened Kabul market. Support our community members! read more

This was my first time trying Kurdish food and I was blown away by the quality of the bread and freshness of ingredients in the kovurma beef omelette. I came by myself and got to sit in the cool pillow seating area, though this would've definitely been a more fun experience with a group. The portions were big and I had to pack my meal home. I definitely want to try more bread and pastries next time like the potato borek. The staff were so kind and helpful explaining the menu since I obviously did not know what to order lol. Such an awesome experience! read more

Words cannot describe the absolutely wonderful time we had here. The food can only be experienced to describe well. The Borek...to die for! You must experience the presentation of the tea. Then we topped off the event with milky baklava, dusted with cocoa powder. Delicious! Best baklava I've ever had and I've had much. Run don't walk to this place! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Tashtea! read more
The definition of a hidden gem, TashTea has finally brought true Turkish/Kurdish breakfast to Nashville! Tucked away in a bit of a strip mall in Antioch, you're transported to another world when you enter. Truly A+ for ambiance and vibes, the inside is spacious, extremely clean, well decorated and bright, with traditional poof/floor seating as well as more conventional dining tables. We opted for sitting in the conventional tables this time, but I'd love to come back and sit on the traditional cushion/poofs. I brought my parents here for an early Sunday brunch (around 9:30ish) and it was great that we came on the earlier side, as it was definitely starting to fill up as we were leaving. I absolutely love this style of large, shareable breakfast. We started with drinks: the Kurdish tea for two for my parents and the Kurdish coffee (made in the traditional method over hot sand) for me. My parents are absolute tea snobs and they were raving about the presentation and rich flavor of their tea. They loved how even though they were sharing a pot, they could easily control how intense the flavor was (my mom prefers mild, my dad dark.) The coffee was unreal: rich, almost pistachio/nutty flavor, served with a great presentation and a little sweet to go along with it. The Kurdish breakfast for two was more than enough food for us, and we ended up having a decent leftover haul. They made it vegetarian upon request, so we got; 3 types of Cheese, 2 types of Olives, Honey & Butter, Yoghurt, Jam, Tahini & Grape Molasses, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Walnuts, Grilled Veggies, 4 Fried Cheese Rolls, Haydeh (labneh with dill), Fresh Pita, and Menemen (traditional Kurdish dish with eggs, tomatoes green peppers, cheese and spices, cooked in olive oil.) I also opted to add on a Simit (Turkish style sesame bagel, because it's my favorite) and a Honey Latte, and then got a couple of desserts to go (Tres Leches and Kunefe). First: what a presentation!! The food covered our entire table and so many options to choose from. My favorite bread item was the Samit: the bagel. Lightly sweetened with honey, served warm, it was the perfect crustiness on the outside and soft, chewiness on the inside. I also absolutely loved the potato borek, which was a dish I had never had before. Very flaky pastry, similar to layered Indian paratha, wrapped around a flaky, potato filling - not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be, and great texture. All of the noshes were excellent but my favorite of those was the labneh, the cubes of fresh feta, and the green olives. It was too much food, but I had no regrets about getting a couple of desserts to go. We have already downed the milk cake (tres leches) and are saving the kunefe for a post dinner treat. Excellent, attentive service throughout, and I really appreciated that they were so accommodating of vegetarians, as I haven't always had that experience at truly authentic Turkish breakfast places. I also loved the recommendations from our server/owner, as my parents were new to this cuisine and had a lot of questions. I am already planning my next visit with friends and this has easily been my one of my favorite additions to the Nashville dining scene this year! read more
